What do you mean by airborne?

Airborne is to use external conditions to fall from the sky.

Airborne is the activity of transporting people and materials by air tools and landing on the ground. It is the product of highly developed aviation technology and is widely used in military affairs. Because of airborne, airborne troops appeared in the military composition, and airborne operations appeared in the combat style. Airborne is a relatively general concept, which mainly includes three categories: extended airdrop, parachute drop and throwing. Aircraft landing refers to the direct delivery of goods or personnel to the ground by aircraft or helicopters. Fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and gliders can all land by plane.

Airborne is an implementation stage of airborne operations, which is organized and implemented by the highest command of airborne operations. Before airborne, it is necessary to make careful preparations, formulate airborne plans, select departure airports, airborne fields and air routes, organize air cover, and closely cooperate with relevant troops; When airborne, it is necessary to set up an airborne joint command organization to be responsible for organizing and commanding the work. The implementation of airborne usually includes loading, transportation, landing and other processes, and the airport command group composed of airborne troops and aviation commanders organizes the implementation.

Airborne application technology

Technical science and applied technology directly applied to airborne field, including research and production of airborne technology and equipment, operation and maintenance of airborne technology and equipment, and organizing and implementing command, control and management technology of airborne activities. At present, airborne technology has become an important factor in the combat effectiveness of troops.

Airborne technology develops with the development of human aviation technology. Since the advent of 1783 manned balloon, airborne technology has been studied. At that time, the research solved the problem of safe landing of floating personnel in the case of balloon falling. 1797 developed parachutes for balloons and the technology of using parachutes. After the successful development of aircraft in the early 20th century, aircraft landing and parachuting technology came into being.
